In an ELPA package, if I have a "Keywords:" line in my main file with
multiple keywords, the generated -pkg.el file has invalid syntax:
(define-package "ada-mode" "5.0" "major-mode for editing Ada sources" '((wisi "1.0")) :url "http://stephe-leake.org/emacs/ada-mode/emacs-ada-mode.html" :keywords ("languages" "ada"))
After installing this package, attempting to load it gives :
Invalid function: "languages"
The elisp that produces this is in elpa/admin/archive-contents.el
archive--write-pkg-file, which uses prin1-to-string on the results of
(archive--alist-to-plist extras).
Apparently prin1-to-string should be adding ' on a literal list?
I don't know how to fix this, so the only work-around I have is to
delete the "Keywords:" line.
Do we report bugs like this on debbugs? If so, what package and/or other
tags should be used?

Yes, that's it.
